ESM-YA Catalog (Introduction and sequences)

Project ESM-YA under ERASMUS+ YOUTH Application n° 2014-2-ES02-KA205-005432 Session 3 Annex 15 Page 2 Leader: Let’s go through a few scenarios. First, what should you wear at a very conservative office—like a bank or law firm? Think conservative and classic: You want to make sure you’re going with your very textbook suit. Colours that are traditional—blues, blacks, greys—and a suit that’s a classic style. Go get a good shoe shining, and make sure your suit has been well pressed or ironed so that it’s looking as sharp as possible. Tailoring is important too—you want a modern fit. What happens a lot is that people have their “interviewing outfit” that’s been sitting in their closet for the past couple of years, and they dust it off for the occasion—you don’t want to be that guy. Get something that’s going to be really sharp and isn’t going to look dated. How about business casual? This is where you doing to have a lot more freedom. It depends on how casual the office may be—it could mean slacks and a button-down, or if it’s a jeans-and-shirt kind of place, you may want to wear jeans and pair them with a dress shirt and jacket, just no tie. Another look is going with the vest and tie, maybe the sleeves rolled up so it’s a bit more casual. With casual companies, jeans are perfectly fine, you just want to dress them up.
